70s classics K-Tel and T-Rex

I can't believe I didn't notice Elton John on keyboards in that Bang-a-gong vid...what would I do without you Vanessa? (Elton John will come up later)

From Rolling Stone Magazine"With his Botticelli face and curls and whimsically glamorous image, Marc Bolan fronted T. Rex, a British group that generated a fan hysteria reminiscent of Beatlemania and produced 11 successive U.K. Top 10 hits between 1970 and 1974. Among these were "Bang a Gong (Get It On)" (#1), "Jeepster" (#2), and "Telegram Sam" (#1)."
